I've been thinking too much
I just want to live now for a little while
And cast my dreams to the wind

cheiron tribute.

曲;PIECES OF A DREAM - Chemistry

am busy compiling our marketing report but decided that i too needed some time off to relax and slack a bit. was just thinking of what i should blog about, then though.. yeaps, perhaps maybe cheiron.

cheiron was first set up in the second semester i was in the school, around october? of 2005. at that time, ms soo was randomly separating our class into groups for the first project of the semester. note the word randomly. in the first sem, A²DVAnce was my group, with andre, azmi, amy and dinesh. now, for the second semester, in ms soo's really random (picture blindly picking names off the namelist) selection process, me, azmi, andre and dinesh's names got called. by this time, half the class were staring at ms soo wondering how the hell she managed to get four out of five names from our previous group into one group again this sem. then she mentioned cherriann as the fifth member of cheiron.

so cheiron was formed. me, andre, azmi, cherri, and dinesh. we initially had a problem looking for a name for the group, and cheiron got picked as we were randomly (note randomly again) flipping through a greek mythology book for our first ms kannan ica. i think choices like eros and apollo came out also. cheiron is the name of the centaur, the most famous centaur in greek mythology who was known for being wise and kind. he was the teacher of jason and hercules, and other gods and demi-gods of mount olympus. >_<

click for wonderful insight video. andre, i just think that this was a great video. andre did this in the middle of one night late 2005 i think. we interviewed my uncle for our management project, and this was our insight.

... so the story goes on. as the second semester passed day by day, troubles began to brew for cheiron.. different kinds i think - haha. it was in cheiron i realised the value of 12am-5am - our magic hours, ironcially. so we lost a class member and a group member on the way. in the third semester, our class was split into many many groups for various different projects, and cheiron grew apart.

but in the 2nd semester of our second year, fate (haha!) brought cheiron back together again, now with me, andre, azmi and cherri. and we had fun. we grew closer, spent quality time together, and shared our experiences. and we care for each other enough to put in our best all the time. and cheiron are the ones that make me laugh till i cry all the time. overnight meetings at cherri's house have reached their third instalment, now i know her dining room chair like i know vance liao. and her toilet is my best buddy. haha.

just a tribute to cheiron, because among others, they are the ones who also made me feel grateful for what i have around me.

in true simin fashion:
